My guess from all of what i've read is that the phone call didn't go something like this:

nats: Hi, we think there may be a problem with your installation. When can we schedule to take a look at it?
xclusivecash: fuck you you prick. (hangup).

perhaps more like this:
nats: What are you doing? Whats going on with this? We think you're doing something fishy and you either need to let us fix it now or we're going to disable your license.
xclusivecash: Dude, i'm in my fucking car, there isnt anything i can do right now, what the hell. I'll call you when i'm back in town.
nats: So you wont let us update your install at this moment?
xclusivecash: no, it's my program and I don't want anything changed til we can see whats up.
nats: so be it... then we're disabling your license.
xclusivecash: dude, fuck you what kind of shit is that?
nats: goodbye (posts)
